Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

But, then it hit me hard.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

The batch sizes were huge!

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

I am writing a romantasy novel and I’m starting out with a love interest who was a previous ex. In the end, he will betray her, however I need some character flaws that leaves characters feeling uneasy about him. Any tips?

I vividly remember that evening.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).

All the best!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I looked around me

Your credentials do not matter!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Anyway!

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

Dropped them

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

Searched for my roll number.

And, I had not made it.

Worked for a marketing agency

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

Found an empty bench..

Keep your ego aside.

So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not go back to my home.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

And entered the park.
